Human Traffic (DVD)

'Human Traffic' is all about a group of friends who literally live for the weekends - away from the mundane world of work, family and relationship issues whilst relaxing with a couple of beers and a cocktail or two of drugs in some of Cardiff's clubs and boozers. Although drug taking is never high up on my 'to do' list at the weekend, 'Human Traffic' presents such drug use in a comical, light hearted way. Don't be fooled into thinking that it's another 'Trainspotting' because the word 'drugs' pops up in its synopsis on more than one occasion; 'Trainspotting' is a lot darker, but both films take a look at the human condition and the experimentation of drugs as an escapism ...  Read the complete review

I first came across this film a few years ago when I picked it up out the bargain bucket and to be honest had never before been inclined to watch it. But what a surprise I had when I found that I loved it! Although I can understand it is not to everyone's tastes and I wouldn't particularly want to watch it with my parents and my grandparents would probably be horrified... Justin Kerrigan's Human Traffic was first released in 1999 and follows a group of five friends on a weekend in their home city of Cardiff. The five friends have relatively boring lives through the week but when the weekend comes they let their hair down with pubs, drugs, alcohol, sex and ...  Read the complete review

Hello again, It has been over a year since I have last written one of my DVD ops and I had planned writing quite a few so I thought it was about time to get my fingers flexing and right a hardcore review on one of my favourite DVD’s. Well as you’ve probably realised by now, my ops is about Human Traffic. When I speak to most people about this film and ask them if they have seen it they seem to stare at me blankly probably thinking I’m speaking of some Economics video talking about the problems of traffic. Well I can assure you now this film is not about Economics and people who think it is might be a little disturbed as to what it ...  Read the complete review

As a massive Danny Dyer fan, I always tend to buy DVD's that have him in, not because they are all fantastic but purely because he is in it and a girl needs some eye candy in her life when chilling out at home. Human Traffic has become one on my recently acquired DVD's and even though it is a relatively old film, featuring a very young Danny Dyer, which if I had watched it when it was first released I don't think that attraction would have been there then as he has very much matured over the years into what I consider an extremely good looking fella, however still having those boyish looks about him and that cockney bad lad charm. Human Traffic is ...  Read the complete review

Despite Human Traffic being a film that's been around for the best part of a decade, I've always somehow missed or passed up the opportunity to watch it. Despite good reviews on here and generally,when I did get round to watching it, I was rather disappointed with the outcome. The film pretty much revolves around a group of friends gearing up for the weekend, which of course is kicked off with a drug fuelled Friday night out clubbing followed by a house party. The film not only shows the high point of their drug taking but also the come down. Apart from Moz (played by Danny Dyer), I didn't really find any of the characters particularly ...  Read the complete review
